G
eert Hofstede, reknowned
international business scholar
and author, will be making a
special presentation at this year’s
Annual Meeting in Vienna, Austria.
Hofstede is being honored by the
AIB Fellows at the closing plenary
session on the evening of Friday,
October 9. He will speak for about
half an hour on “Business Goals in
Different Countries” — a major
research project Hofstede initiated in
1995.
Although still in progress, the
joint project has already turned out
some “rather sensational” findings,
Hofstede said.
The project covers the United
States, Australia, France, Germany,
Hong Kong, and the Netherlands.
Research was facilitated by evening
MBA students at six different
universities.
Hofstede’s said his presentation
would be a unique preview of what
will ultimately be a formal joint paper
to be published upon the project’s
completion.
The plenary will begin at 5:45
p.m. in Ballroom Section II of the
Vienna Hilton.
Steve Kobrin is
chair and Mary
Brannen will
serve as
discussant.
Hofstede
was the founder
and first director
of the Institute
for Research on
Intercultural
Cooperation
(IRIC), the Netherlands. In addition to
serving as a senior fellow at IRIC, he
is an emeritus professor of
organizational anthropology at
Maastricht University and an
honorary professor at the University
of Hong Kong.
Some of his books include “The
Game of Budget Control” and
“Culture’s Consequences,” the latter
constantly being reprinted and
available in both hardcover and
paperback editions. He is consistently
one of the most frequently listed
authors in the Social Science Citation
Index, once even surpassing Karl
Marx.

BOARD NOTES
Jeffrey S. Arpan
AIB President
The Asian cultures are especially well known for the importance
they place on “relationships” and “connections” in both business
and life. As a global organization of international business
professors and institutions, it is important that AIB and its
members adopt this cultural attribute and do all that we can to
expand and enhance our relationships and connections with each
other. Doing so opens up new and enhanced opportunities for
research collaboration and further extensions of research done on a
less global basis. It also provides enhanced opportunities for
student and faculty exchange programs, collaborative degree
programs and executive education programs. It also helps each of our institutions
bench mark what others are doing in terms of internationalization and other
institutional activities. And perhaps most importantly, it provides each of us with
additional and often different perspectives about business, academia, social/political
events and trends, and life itself.
Attending the annual international and regional meetings of AIB is clearly one of the
best ways to establish and maintain these types of relationships, yet less than a
majority of members do so on an regular basis. While timing, travel distance and
expense are typical and understandable attendance constraints, the value gained from
attending is worth it and justifiable.
Another viable and less problematic option is making good use of the AIB-list server.
It provides an fast and inexpensive way of getting input from other AIB members
about course syllabi, cases and other pedogogical methods, research topics and
techniques, and a host of other information (including good places to visit, stay, or
dine in countries around the world...). Yet despite these advantages, only about two-
thirds of AIB members currently subscribe to AIB-L. If you’re not connected, you’re
missing out.
Another good “connecting option” is to make good use of the AIB Membership
Directory to learn who is located where, interested in what, and how they can be
contacted. However, any directory is only as accurate as the members maintain it with
current information. So if you haven’t recently checked the information it provides
about you, please do so and notify the Executive Secretariat of any changes that need
to be made about you!
As international business faculty, most of us stress the importance to students and
business executives of establishing, maintaining and managing relationships from a
business standpoint —and some of us from a “life learning” standpoint. Let’s increase
our own efforts to “walk the talk.”
“Getting and Staying Connected”

The Vienna AIB conference
has participants from many
fields and many countries.
This diversity presents a
tremendous opportunity
for us, and it is the greatest
strength of our research
community. The challenge
has always been how to
harness this diversity when
so much of our working life is separated into
distinct functional areas with little cross
communication. Many people in the AIB,
especially past and current Presidents Don
Lessard and Jeff Arpan, have encouraged efforts
to fuse our multi-functional community into a
more coherent whole.
We are introducing innovations to the
conference this year to address this issue.
Sessions are not defined by functional field.
Indeed, great effort has been made to diversify
the sessions across functions. Instead, each day
begins with a plenary that offers a discussion of a
theme that is related to most of the sessions that
follow. The subsequent sessions are divided into
4 to 5 tracks that analyze a single question across
3 sessions.
To encourage further communication across
functions, paper presenters are asked to speak for
only 10 minutes. The discussant, who has 15
minutes, plays the integrating role in the session
by commenting on common themes and by
drawing conclusions. It is our intention that the
sessions should be eventful, filled with
discussion and ending with a sense of progress
and direction.
So often, the unusual happens, and sessions
sparkle with discussion and controversy. But all
this energy does not accumulate, and the
conference proceeds at its own pace, almost
indifferent to the fervor of individual sessions.
To provide for reflection and accumulation,
each day will end with a 15 minute Village
Meeting, open to all attendees, during which 4 to
5 rapporteurs will report on their tracks. A
rapporteur from each track relays in 2 or 3
minutes what were the central questions and
debates during the day. We expect these meetings
to be peppered with both humorous and serious
moments and to seize, finally, on the opportunity
to fuse and integrate our diverse functional fields
into a single community that represents the
frontier of international research.

We would like to congratulate the new officers for 1999-2000 and thank all who participated and
voted in the election. The impressive list of candidates made it difficult for members to choose
between them. As a result, all candidates enjoyed a strong showing, and several races were very
close. The voter response was considerably better than in past years.

• Case studies in select industry sectors
• Management style, organizational structure and
corporate strategy of French operations in the US

investment approaches in the US
